“Bye” I told “ her be close so I can call you to pick me up”  

“Okay, Spence ‘Have fun’ ” she said in a sarcastic voice, as she leaned in to kiss me, goodbye “do you have to go?”

“Yes, unfortunately I do, see you later” I told her.

I got out of the car wondering what the hell I was doing here, only one way to find out. As I was getting out my keys, my brother opened the door. Clay stood there with an odd look on his face.

“Spence!” he shouted to me as he let me in.

“ Clay, what the hell is going on, why did I need to come here so quickly and at 11:30 no less?” I asked him that with an angry tone in my voice.

“I don’t know, mom came home this morning and then they started fighting again, and dad told me to call you and get you over here A.S.A.P because they had an announcement to make that will affect us all one way or another, Oh, I was also told not to make any plans tomorrow “ He said to me just as Glenn appeared.

“Come on guys, I can’t stand their fighting any longer” Glenn stated as I shut the door and began walking into the living room, now I understood why Glenn said what he said.

 My mom and dad didn’t see us standing in the doorway to living room because my mother was on one of her ‘I would not have had to cheat on you with Ben, if you paid more attention to me and agreed with me’ rants.

“ Um…. Sometime today Mother” I said in a bitchy voice. I was sick of it her cheating on my dad, her yelling at me about Ashley, what kind of a mother is she if she can’t respect my decisions?

After all it’s my life not her’s, and it’s time she learned it.

“ Can you stop arguing with dad for once in your life. Look around you mom, you have no right to justify what you have done, cheating on dad and blaming him you have no right what so ever to even be here in our home go back to your “ lover” in your 2 star motel. You do not deserve to be here, you have been pushing your family away and now I am going to push back. I honestly don’t think I could ever be proud again to call you my mother, so please leave” I never thought I could say that I began to cry, everyone looked at me with shocked expressions upon their faces.

My mother walked over to me and slapped me right across my face, I wanted to hit her back, but something immobilized my arm. I felt the hands of my brother clay holding me back. “She’s not worth it Spence” he whispered.

     My dad ran over to my mother and pulled her back. “ What the hell is wrong with you, Paula? You don’t hit my daughter for being right. Ever since the night I saw you messing around with Ben you have been blaming it on me ‘ oh Arthur it’s your fault’ well it isn’t my fault. It’s yours for being such a whore.” He shouted at her “ you know what I am glad about my decision”.

     “what decision dad?” I asked him

“ My decision to divorce your Mother”.
